For those of you who donâ€™t know, The Random Yak
And Dave from Daves-Not-Here have been the glue that keeps these carnivals
Together.

I was drawn to this carnival because I was a scared not very creative blogger.
Not that has changed mind you; I just have more fun with my limitations now.

For new bloggers, come join the fun, for today go see what an excellent post
TheRandomYak has made.

History of the New Blog Carnival

Welcome to the New Blog Carnival bit of history
.
This blog was originally started by the New Zealand Bear better known as TheTruthLaidBear in 2003..

After a long and rather glorious run, The Bear retired the site..
Mr. Ogre from Ogre’sViewandPolitics took over.
Mr Ogre did a marvelous job, because of time constraints he can no longer host!

He has allowed petsgardenblog to set up for a try at this great Carnival.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email

FAQ and Submissions

pet — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 20:11:23 +0000

Welcome to the New Blog Carnival FAQ and Submissions.
The qualification criteria remains simple: your blog must be less than 3 months old. Submit your post to the host of each weekâ€™s carnival (list of hosts is here).
The carnival will be run once a week.
I strongly encourage people with blogs to link to those posts they enjoy. Or if you have something more you want to add, or disagree with, or whatever. Bloggers live for link love and giving newer members of the blogosphere a taste of that is the aim of this site. All I ask is you also link back to the post here at this site as well as at the original.
Submissions
If you want to submit a post please title the email â€œnew Blogâ€ and include the following information in the email:
1. Your blogâ€™s name and URL
2. Your postâ€™s title and permalink
3. Your name and a contact email address (for verification purposes only)
For submitting you can use the following:
1. Use the central submission email: newblogcarnival(at)gmaildotcom
2. Use the multi-carnival submission form, found via blog carnival
3. Check the upcoming hostâ€™s site for other submission details.
What do entrants need to do in return?
I also would like to ask every submitter to add the Showcase and the host blog to their blogroll as the quid pro quo for being added to this site.

I would like each new blogger to also link to at least one other entry (apart from their own). Itâ€™s an extremely small price to pay.
Feel free to recommend posts from other peopleâ€™s blogs who match the criteria. Please include the same details as above PLUS your contact details (email) and if possible permission from the original blog too.
Any feedback or comments is welcome.
I am going to ask that every blog that submits an entry adds Showcase to their Blogroll.
Also if you are an â€œEstablishedâ€ blogger I also humbly request you add Showcase to your Blogroll. The greater the linkage, the greater the exposure and the better the showcase will be.
Permalinks
Already some newer bloggers are unsure as to what â€œPermalinksâ€ are. On almost every blogging platform each individual entry has a marker that is the single identifier of that entry. This is called the Permalink and that is what I need to link to your brilliant post. It is often at the bottom of the post, next to the comments part. It may say â€œLinkâ€, â€œPermalinkâ€, â€œ#â€, or the time or date or something else completely. It is important to find these links as otherwise I have to search your blog to find your post and I donâ€™t have that much timeâ€¦
If you are still unsure, at the very least give me the post title and the date of entry and I will track the permalink for you. But you need to work out Permalinks, for they are the lifeblood of linkage, which is the lifeblood of the Blogosphere.
